What Causes Itching And Burning Sensation In Vaginal Area?
Question: Hi. I need the expertise of a gynecologist. My vagina looks odd. Two years ago, it must've gotten irritated. I experienced itchiness, burning, discharge from my vagina and went to my family doctor. She said it was normal. I got a second opinion. Same advise. Please help. Does it look normal? Anything recommended to fix it(the look, condition). I have always been abstinate.
Brief Answer:
vaginitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
This appears to vaginitis and possible bacterial vaginosis. it is important that a high vaginal swab culture be undertaken to rule it out first. A course of antibiotics especially Doxycycline and ornidazole for a week can take care of your symptoms if the culture has been positive for trichomonal or bacterial infection. The gynecologist shall prescribe it for you after evaluation of the report.
Regards
